Lynne Tillman's American Genius, A Comedy

I have a stack of Tillman books by my ugly old orange chair...starting with Madame Realism, a work in response to Kiki Smith, and also a piece that goes with a Roni Horn exhibit gurgle, suck... I'm thinking, how is it I've gone for so long without having a sense of how brilliant Tillman is? Just ordered this new one, American Genius, A Comedy, reviewed in Slate this week by Jessica Winter.
